We ate great hamburgers at Chicken Oil and then headed to campus.
We then drove to Lufkin where we put Christmas flowers on our parents graves.
After we took Jim back to his house, we began our trip back to Lake Conroe via a different way. We were listening to a book on tape that we had previously started and got sleepy so we pulled onto Friday Road...love that name...and found a spot on this muddy 1 lane road to take a 15 minute nap. This beautiful mushroom was nearby and we had to get a picture.
We sat in "The Zone" so we had a different view of the game. Here is a shot looking at where we normally sit...on the 3rd deck.

We're now in Texas for a couple of football games and for lunch, we stopped at a Texas icon...second only to Whataburger.

All of these beautiful leaves are mostly gone due to the day-long heavy rains we have had today. The ground looks colorful, but most of the trees are nearly bear.
The season's last soccer game.
On Saturday, we drove to College Station to watch A&M beat Iowa State. the band did an exceptional job, the fly over was by F16s out of Birmingham and flown by former students of A&M, and the weather was great.
